Story of the Nursery

First published in 1958, this reconstruction of the lives of young children of nursery age is an excursion into the past, from the Middle Ages to the opening years of the 20th century. It shows how the simplicity of the child's nature was moulded by the pressure of the adult society around them into some semblance of the contemporary type.
